Unfortunately a few site sponsors didn't pan out, so we had to make some layoffs. So things that we did before that were the norm are no longer being done until we hit the 100%, which will probably be never.

I'm DVR'ing all X Games programming this weekend in case RG decides to do something crazy on the skateboard ramps with the truck.

Joker Lap is a great idea!! For those that are unfamiliar, a "Joker Lap" is usually a quicker route over a small part of the course. If it is shorter, the guys in the front will often take it on the first lap. It makes for great door-to-door action when the two routes reconvene. To clarify, the Joker lap usually must be taken exactly once.
